Oh Hello Again (or, We're Pretty Sure Melinda's Losing It)

i am going for a record number of posts in one week (goal 50; i'm getting there) mainly because, well actually there's no good reason, there's actually a myriad of good reasons to not do this, but can i just say that every once in a while i start to question the soundness of my own brain, and today is one of those times, because i am about to burst open with a whole bunch of i-don't-know-what's, like how being in this office is the last place i want to be right now and i really just want to go find a town square and dance in it and look at all the christmas directions i mean decorations (see, crazy), and how i really have no one in my corner here at my job and this makes me lonely and want to run out, run away, anywhere, and how odd and how something that i could be married right now if i were a different person, and how i'm so hungry but i can't take my lunch yet, and how i really hope i can take next Monday off to clean my apartment and cook and write pretty music, and how i hope this christmas is not like last christmas, and how i wish that we could really tell everyone what we really mean to say, and how i can't believe that someone had the audacity to 1) turn an e-mail forward into the "song" Christmas Shoes and 2) play it on the radio right now, and how I'm still grasping for what God wants me to do but i actually wish someone would just tell me, and how i really want to take a sprint right about now, and

michelle, yes, we probably ought to go see counselors :P

enough of this mess for now

“It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.” Donald Miller

Work will bring out every impulse in you to rush around and run out the door and freak out about where your life is headed. It's normal to feel that way.

Just try and accept it for what it is. Take a day off once in awhile so you don't go crazy. And remember that "figuring out your calling" is not some crazy puzzle...God will lay it out for you in His time.
